How to Measure a Timing Belt Like a Pro! 📏
Need to find the exact pitch of your timing belt? Skip the guesswork and grab a pair of calipers. Here is the most accurate way to do it:
Measure 10 Teeth: For the best accuracy, measure the span of 10 teeth using the mold grooves between them.
Divide by 10: Take your total measurement and divide it by 10 to find the individual pitch.
Identify the Type:
English Pitch: If it is an uneven millimeter number (like 9.525 mm, which is 3/8 inch), it is an English pitch belt (L pitch).
Metric Pitch: If it is a clean, even number (like 20 mm), it is a standard metric belt (T20).
